Excellent VLOG! Please keep them coming! I love perennials and always appreciate learning anything I can about planting, fertilizing and helping them to grow beautifully. I have at least a dozen different varieties of daylilies (all from GHW) and I busted out laughing when you said, "Oh give me a break!" in regards to someone asking why you would plant a "common" daylily! This years is also my first time to plant lavender. Very timely info for me. Thank you!
Thank you. I learned so very much from this video. I love perennials especially because as I am getting older it is harder for me to get down to plant the flowers. So Thank you again. Linda
you all prolly dont give a shit but does anyone know a tool to get back into an instagram account? I was stupid lost the password. I would love any help you can give me.
No words can express how much I love and adore P. Allen Smith! Such a lovely spirit and soul. I don't know how he kept his kind gentle and beautiful personality through all his success. I recently retired and had to downsize. I once again turn to his site for ideas, design education, inspiration. and how-to reminders for my new home. I will need to visit Gilbert H. Wild's web site very soon! On another note, I very recently lost my very senior dog and best BEST friend (and my shadow). I binge watched P. Allen Smith's videos for hours and days with a nice cup of tea as I battled with my grief. P. Allen Smith's lovely soothing voice alone was magic to my heart. Feeling like I've known him for years through his programs was such a surprising and amazing dose of comfort to me. I truly love his personality and how genuine he is... plus a major touch of class.... REAL CLASS. I don't think he will ever know the many ways he touches people and why we love him so much. Certainly hope he finds time to read comments. What a beautiful person he is... Thank you for so MANY reasons, P. Allen Smith!!!
Yes, Cherry, I also did that a few times as my sleep pattern has become so discombobulated since my sweet Doberman passed. I take my laptop to bed and tune in to Allen's programs. He has so many inspiring topics and ideas. His was the only program that kept my mind interested and distracted. I quickly also realized it was Allen as well as his lovely voice that was actually soothing my heart. Thanks for your kind message, Cherry. Take care!
There is no one I would rather learn from than P. Allen Smith ! I love his manner, his sensibilities, his voice, his vast knowledge, etc, etc, etc ! With the concrete block idea, I was seeing in my mind's eye to do as he did, and build a stone wall surround, like masonry. I think it would look like an olde English cottage ! I am inspired !
This vlog makes me excited to get out and try new perennials! I feel like it’s 2nd nature to transplant and divide my perennials, and my mom did that for others to share in her passion for gardening.
I bought Phenomenal Lavender, a hybrid developed for humidity and clay soil and lined my driveway with them. First I dug a large deep hole, and put in rocks for drainage and added lime to sweeten the soil. I added soil amendment to break up the clay to the soil I dug out. I planted the Phenomenal Lavender and it took! Then I made cuttings from the 5 plants i had and now have more than 30 on my property. I highly recommend Phenomenal Lavender for Southern gardens.
DeAnne Holliday Hi Deanne, thank you for sharing your successful experience with phenomenal lavender. Do you mind letting me know you’re planting zone and region of the US?
DeAnne Holliday Thank you! I am in NW Florida, zone 8b but literally right next to zone 9. (I am able to walk to zone 9a.) Great to know that you have had success with this variety!
I just love your vlogs. As a beginner gardener you provide foundational knowledge to build on in becoming a better gardener. I look forward to and appreciate every episode❤❤
You’ve inspired me to get back in my garden! We laid pavers this weekend, and bought some veggies to put in this week. I’ve been adding plants to my home, and have a few perennial flowers in my yard, but this year we will have veggies! And day lilies soon! I never knew they would grow in my area! I LOVE them!
Allen you have such a soothing voice. That makes it very enjoyable to learn new things about gardening. Thank you very much. Always look forward to your next video.
I’m in my fifties now, and I have Daylilies from my childhood garden in my own garden. My mother was a big fan of junipers, they were everywhere. She didn’t plant too many flowers, but she planted one Daylily bulb which multiplied year after year, and it thrilled me. Other than a forsythia bush, it’s the only flower I can remember us having. Unfortunately, when my dad ran off leaving my arthritic mother and us two eleven year girls (I’m a twin), our large house and steep sloping property started to resemble Grey Gardens all buried in English Ivy. But I do still enjoy the Daylilies’ ancestors, and lots of other flowers in my garden. I have no Junipers. 🌸🌱😀
Oh My Gawd! I have been watching you since the early 90's. Have most of your books and so happy to watch all your videos again and again. I about fell off my chair when you called out the garden snobs & said, "Oh give me a break!" That was excellent and I now like you even more. Wishing you peace, happiness, love, good health, prosperity and the time to enjoy them all. Happy Easter
BonnieBlue2A I always add sand to the soil and mix it in. Helps with drainage. Don’t water them too much, they prefer to stay on the drier side (we get plenty of rain). Don’t mulch around them, keeps them too wet. In Michigan they need full sun.
I’ve never seen a daylilly that I didn’t love! I’m hoping to start a daylilly bed at my new home. Thanks for all the great information. Keep them coming.
I have been Watching you since the 90's and have been to your farm had my picture taken with you. My favorite flower is whats blooming at the time. I love the daylily's and they grow huge here in TN. I have peony's Bearded Iris Phlox Daffodil's Rose of Sharon Honeysuckle vines Rose's. I love them all. Thanks for spending your time with us.
I found the most beautiful blue purple hydrangea at box box store today. I couldn't help myself. The color is soooo deep and rich. I've been absorbing all your hydrangea advice and info the last 12 hours, lol. Binging on hydrangeas. 😉
I have been buying from Gilbert H Wild for many years 10+. Always a great experience and I'm often surprised at how much more generous their divisions are as compared to other places I have ordered. Glad to see you paired with such a truly fine grower!!
I love your videos they are so great especially this one that you did with the perennials you are so relax and personal it makes people want to watch you and feel like they're at home with you keep your videos coming God bless
I especially love ditch day lillies & grow them. They bloom continuously from May to November in Ga. Gorgeous flowers with beautiful foliage. Hard working flower- that day lily !!!!
Lavender is my favorite too - but is a short lived annual in my garden. Never ever survives winter or 2 weeks of solid rain & 100 other situations. Great idea about cinder blocks.
Remodeling a smaller, older home in Louisiana...yard has two azaleas, (different colors)😁, and virtually no grass. Planning on perennial beds and natural walkways with plenty of daylilies. Will be referring to your videos often!!
I really enjoy listening to you talk about plants. You mentioned several of my favorites in this one. You touched on what I've been doing for the last 15 years. Planting so that something is always in bloom. I have about 12 colors of Day lilies along my garage but I think I'll dig them and divide them this fall and spread them around the property instead of in a big group. I also have about a 20 foot oval of peonies that I want to divide and spread around. I think the big group takes away from the individual plant.
Only recently come to your channel and really enjoying it. You have a lovely manner and it's funny hearing your southern pronunciation. It's very cute.
So glad I found your VLOG. Used to watch your programme on TV some fifteen years ago, but then they stopped broadcasting it in my country. Best gardening programme ever. Subscribed!
I love daylilies! They grow easily in NE where winds are likely but rains not so dependable! I have gorgeous daylilies and keep diving them and getting more. They thrive with little care; deadheading them with my grandson is a favorite activity in July! linda from NE
Hello Mr Smith hope you are doing well. Loving your channel thank you for sharing all the great tips and information. I'm trying my hand at growing lavender this year. Big Tx hugs from South Tx.
Hydrangeas like to be watered well, love hydrangeas! I have blue and pink combinations! Allen, you are like the living encyclopedia of gardeners! Love your work!
Absolutely great information, I enjoy so much listenting to someone so professional and passioned about plants and gardening. THANK YOU! THANK YOU! I may have zillions of questions lol!, but I'm sure most of the answers are in your fantastic videos so I'll keep watching. Warmest regards from Villa General Belgrano in Argentina!
Just watched this ....so informative...thank you! I love daylilys and I love Gilbert Wilds plants...just wonderful! My gardens are filling up with their daylilys ever since I discovered them a couple years ago 💜💜so happy they have you as their spokesperson 💜😊
A lot of great information. I'm in the process of adding more perennials too. I have a little rose area that I hope to add some perennials. It is next to my new raised vegetable beds. I live in Southern California, Zone 10a. I agree with Barb Poage, yes, keep the VLOGs coming. Happy Gardening!
Planted my Day Lillie’s yesterday, in Little Rock, light drizzle with cooler weather thanks to hurricane Barry. The next two day should be very good for them, I put jump start In the soil . I can’t wait to see them . Thank you so much for answering my questions so promptly. Love these videos.
I really enjoyed watching! So informative! You are so right about the daylily . They are a great choice for the garden. I now know why I have not been successful with lavender. Here in Delaware we have a lot of clay. Thank you. Please keep them coming.
A lot of fuss for daylilies. I toss them to the side and forget about them for weeks on end where eventually they start rooting where they lay at which point I remember, grab a garden fork and rip them back out, then throw them in a hole and stomp them down. Have over 150 cultivars here. If you move them in leaf, cut at least 3/4 of the green off before planting. You can leave scapes, won't hurt them.
just in time for the tips on where to grow lavender, i am in zone 8 with heavy clay soil and i have tried several times growing lavender but failed. I will try again this year in container! Thanks and looking forward to the next Episode.
I live in indiana we got clay soil in some parts and i got huge lavender the key is to buy the best large bonnies plants and start them before its hot too often people try to plant them late in the year i failed several times until i went with bonnies english lavender he sayd they dont like wet yet i got mine in mulch on 2 sides of a bridge and they are huge i think lavender likes growing next to things
Being only a couple of hours from Moss Mountain Farm I should really make time to go down. Daylilies are one of my very favorite plants! I feel the exact same way you do when someone disparages such a beautiful plant.
Best lavender I ever had was the house where I built beds using limestone rocks on the south side of the zone 5 house, so that makes sense that concrete blocks would work too! Love your vlogs and PBS shows :-)
Awesome information in this video. I do record and watch your Garden show on tv. Love how you talked about the old and new perennials. My Mom has a peony that the original belonged to her grandmother. No kidding, the original is from around 1900 to 1920 range or earlier. As far as I know, that one is still alive as well. Mom’s has beautiful pink flowers every year. Never been fertilized since my Mom planted it in the 1980s. It’s hard to believe they can live that long. They are a tough and beautiful perennial. PS - New subbie to your channel.
Alan thank you so much for answering these questions online it was a wealth of information for me as a new master gardener there's so much I've learned and so much more I don't know I love lilies and peonies so this particular video was so helpful to me. I too have read recently purchased a home that has a few struggling perennials and I was not sure exactly what to do to help them I'm so excited to give a healthier nutrient-filled soil and see how they respond thanks again looking forward to your next videos.
My Mom did tiger lilies in the shade. I’m doing 4...naturally the one with the most sun is growing faster and each of the others is growing according to the sunlight. I’m in it for the long haul and hope I’ll have success is to Mom.
I love the concrete block idea....I happened to have some and now I know how to use them. Thanks. PS I got my Wild catalog today ... wonderful surprise.
I bought happy return and lavender this year，and blue ，pink，white hydrandea with dozen variety peony in my flower bed，lots fertilizer informations I got from this vedio，thanks lots，think about plant tree peony next time😜
Awesome video, thank you so much! I am a fellow Arkansan, up along the MO line, and I am so tickled to see that you are also a fan of Wild's perennials. I like that they are fairly local to us; gardening in this part of the South is a little tricky because we do get a fair bit of winter, and I know the Wild perennials are used to the same basic conditions, even though they're a little further north. And again, thank you very kindly forallthis excellent information you share with us!

Daylilies are the first perennial I ever planted and they come back each year and I look so forward to seeing them each year.

Sylvia Delk thank you so much for the kind words. Thanks for being such a loyal viewer!
I went on the website last and ordered a few things right after I watched!
Sylvia Delk, I totally understand! I turn him on every night, listen to a few shows and fall asleep listening to his wonderful voice.

DeAnne Holliday Thank you! I am in NW Florida, zone 8b but literally right next to zone 9. (I am able to walk to zone 9a.) Great to know that you have had success with this variety!
P. Allen has always been one of my favs to talk about plants. As much as I already do know about plants I always can learn something new from him!
You're a wonderful educator and your passion for gardening is inspiring.
Thank you for being soo down to EARTH!
I just love your vlogs. As a beginner gardener you provide foundational knowledge to build on in becoming a better gardener. I look forward to and appreciate every episode❤❤
It’s so nice to listen to someone that knows what he’s talking about. We all love P. Allen Smith! Hope I can visit his garden one day.

I Know sage is an herb but they have gorgeous purple Bloom and the humming birds LOVE sage ❤
Russian sage is a completely different plant from the ones you mentioned. It gets quite large , like 3ft. X3ft.
P. Allen smith is just as gorgeous as ever!!
Lavender is tricky here- but to sweet soil tip is great!
Allen you have such a soothing voice. That makes it very enjoyable to learn new things about gardening. Thank you very much. Always look forward to your next video.

LMBO! My neighbor hates daylillys! I’m gonna forward her this! I love you and your videos!
Thank you so much for addressing my question on my 1965 hydrangeas
How are they doing now?
Thank you Mr. Smith for all of your videos and answers. I’ve learned a lot from you!
Oh My Gawd! I have been watching you since the early 90's. Have most of your books and so happy to watch all your videos again and again. I about fell off my chair when you called out the garden snobs & said, "Oh give me a break!" That was excellent and I now like you even more.

I have never been able to keep lavender alive. I will try in in containers, thank you for that tip.
BonnieBlue2A I always add sand to the soil and mix it in. Helps with drainage. Don’t water them too much, they prefer to stay on the drier side (we get plenty of rain). Don’t mulch around them, keeps them too wet. In Michigan they need full sun.
What a thrill to have found this AWESOME CHANNEL!
I agree about the lilies, they are one of the hardest working flowers in my garden, and so many sizes and colors, beautiful. Thanks again for sharing.
I’ve never seen a daylilly that I didn’t love! I’m hoping to start a daylilly bed at my new home. Thanks for all the great information. Keep them coming.
Daylilys are cute. Happy little plant

I didn't realize some ppl didn't like daylilies! I think they are lovely, hardy AND the gophers & moles ignore them. Yay!
Woot! 🎉

Thanks for all the tips, so informative and you make it sound so easy ! I do know better. LOL Sometimes digging up roots can be a lot of work !!
I love when your real personality comes out! 😁
Thank you, very informative!
My best lavender planting was in an old, gravel roadbed. They were enormous.
I really enjoyed watching! So informative! You are so right about the daylily . They are a great choice for the garden. I now know why I have not been successful with lavender. Here in Delaware we have a lot of clay. Thank you. Please keep them coming.
Karen Ross thank you for watching! 💚
A lot of fuss for daylilies. I toss them to the side and forget about them for weeks on end where eventually they start rooting where they lay at which point I remember, grab a garden fork and rip them back out, then throw them in a hole and stomp them down.
Have over 150 cultivars here.
If you move them in leaf, cut at least 3/4 of the green off before planting. You can leave scapes, won't hurt them.
Loved this video.....been watching you for years. Kinda on the same planting plane I’m north of Nashville TN.
just in time for the tips on where to grow lavender, i am in zone 8 with heavy clay soil and i have tried several times growing lavender but failed. I will try again this year in container! Thanks and looking forward to the next Episode.

I can feel your love for what you do xx I also love the fact that you graduated in Horticulture in the UK x
Being only a couple of hours from Moss Mountain Farm I should really make time to go down. Daylilies are one of my very favorite plants! I feel the exact same way you do when someone disparages such a beautiful plant.
TashasCreativeSpace you really should. 🤗💚
I really enjoyed watching your video. I just got more into gardening and landscaping last year. I'm so glad I found your channel !

Awesome information in this video. I do record and watch your Garden show on tv. Love how you talked about the old and new perennials.
My Mom has a peony that the original belonged to her grandmother. No kidding, the original is from around 1900 to 1920 range or earlier. As far as I know, that one is still alive as well. Mom’s has beautiful pink flowers every year. Never been fertilized since my Mom planted it in the 1980s. It’s hard to believe they can live that long. They are a tough and beautiful perennial.
PS - New subbie to your channel.
That's amazing Pam! Thank you for subscribing.
Excellent. I'm really excited about daylilies and hardy hibiscus at the moment :)
I love to bring peonies inside because I dearly love them and I can’t get out enough. I can’t walk and hurt, so I love arrangements in my bedroom.
Alan thank you so much for answering these questions online it was a wealth of information for me as a new master gardener there's so much I've learned and so much more I don't know I love lilies and peonies so this particular video was so helpful to me. I too have read recently purchased a home that has a few struggling perennials and I was not sure exactly what to do to help them I'm so excited to give a healthier nutrient-filled soil and see how they respond thanks again looking forward to your next videos.
Love it! Thanks for sharing!
Good info
Thank you for for letting us know about this companyand I just made an order for a bunch of daylilies and I can't wait for him to come in
My Mom did tiger lilies in the shade. I’m doing 4...naturally the one with the most sun is growing faster and each of the others is growing according to the sunlight. I’m in it for the long haul and hope I’ll have success is to Mom.
Tyfs the information. Like the class like approach.
Wonderful information, it’s nice in depth for the plants. I love day lilies too. I will check out Gilbert and Wild.

Great informative video
Awesome video, thank you so much! I am a fellow Arkansan, up along the MO line, and I am so tickled to see that you are also a fan of Wild's perennials. I like that they are fairly local to us; gardening in this part of the South is a little tricky because we do get a fair bit of winter, and I know the Wild perennials are used to the same basic conditions, even though they're a little further north. And again, thank you very kindly forallthis excellent information you share with us!
I just love lavender!🌵🌷🌵
